Women who stand by the church offended

THE letter from Anne-Marie Desmond (September 25) about the ordination of women made my blood boil.

How dare she say that those of us women who stand by the church’s teaching are elderly, pre-Vatican II people who never worked outside the home, as if it was some sort of a crime to be elderly, pre-Vatican II or stay-at-home carers.

With one stroke of her pen she has offended the vast majority of women in this country.
